You'd have to be a bit of a grump to spoil their fun.
Same for the Eagles. If Irving is still employed as the Eagles manager, he's kinda obliged to present them with projects to consider. There is a question of authenticity but the Eagles regularly changed line ups throughout their career.
I'm sure the Eagles fans in the 70s would have been firmly against the band appearing on stage with the comfort blanket of a huge team of backing musicians but it hasn't affected their popularity or sale-ability.
Both Don and Joe have said, they hope that their best material is in front of them. They'll certainly get more new music done working separately rather than as a team but I almost expect Irving to have them all, including Tim and Bernie, together again at some point in the future.
I can see a demand for the considered, Hotel California tour that Henley talked about. J.D. Souther was the prime writer of New Kid In Town, so he could stand in for Glenn as Jackson did at the Grammys. I presume they had considered some options for Meisner's Try And Love Again. Felder may even be considering a Hotel California anniversary tour of his own.
It's still much too close to Glenn's loss for serious consideration.
